DJ Chika has built a strong reputation in Japan for his incredible DJ play where he integrates sampling techniques and live MPC performances in his set! Today DJ Chika plays a key role in "CRADLE," which is the team he formed with the talented Tomoki Seto (president of Palette Sounds) who is also a turntablist, DJ and track-maker.
